Hi, we need to have some roofing/building work done. (repair rather

Most of them seem to advertise ‘free estimates’. Being the cynical
sort I suspect this is so they can then charge more than the estimate
rather than giving a quote.

No estimate is 'free'.

That is very true. Producing a detailed quote for a larger job can
amount to a very significant amount of work. In some cases you may even
have to actually do some of the design work before you can even price it.
